John Cale - Magic & Lies lyrics

rate me

Look at that old man with the broken shoes

He could tell you stories he knows how to lose

Look at that sweet thing packaged so tight

She does things her own way, knows the wrong from right

But there's one big difference now she does anything she wants

And every night is midnight as they come to take her through the door

Of suffering as it is her own way out no matter how she feels

Her day is

Can you see madame breaking all the rules

She does things her own way, she's nobody's fool

Yes, she finds things easier now she does everything she says

They climb up on her doorstep and rock around the clock tonight

And rock around again in spite of everything she'd done she is forgotten

Look at that young man with the tired eyes

He believes in magic, he believes in lies
